Almost ready to yoink engine - just power steering left -
The writeup in Tech doesn't specify beyond saying 'pull PS hoses'. Do I need to disconnect all the hoses from the PS reservoir? Are there lines from the pump to the rack that need to be disconnected?
I couldn't find answers in a search. That's the only thing I need to do other than unbolt the driveshaft before I can pull the engine out.
Can someone provide directions on what I need to do there? Thanks!

I thought there were a couple of good write ups for engine pulling...
Yes, I disconnected the lines to the reservoir.
I don't recall disconnecting other lines from the pump to the rack. The only other line I recall disconnecting were the lines that went into the radiator but, I thought they were cooling lines from the tranny? Maybe they were the steering lines... I don't remember.

hard line on the back of the engine...
and the reservoir line that goes across (or below) frame rail to front of engine..
I should know. pulled motor twice in the past month!
I found it beneficial to use a turkey baster and remove ps fluid from reservoir. otherwise it'll be a huge mess to clean up.
and I found <a href="http://forums.carolinaeuros.com/index.php?showtopic=3297" target="_blank">this engine pull write-up on carolinaeuros</a> to be very helpful.

Re: TJ how much for the DH9?
Well... I'm asking $2k but open to offers. It's in as-new condition with many extras, tires, wheelset, etc... Pic of it is in my pictureposter.
